Seven consecutive days.
Every day, the grassland coalition forces were sieging the city wildly. It was impossible to count how many people died in the grassland coalition forces, but the number of casualties of soldiers in the capital was rising, and each general's face was full of fatigue. Although Luo Xin was rotating to defend the city, this high-intensity offense and defense made every twilight and the moment the war ended, all soldiers felt exhausted.
The tense atmosphere made everyone anxious. In the seven days, there were several times when the grassland coalition forces barely attacked the city wall, but they were all suppressed by the Ming soldiers.
This is also the happiest thing in Luo Xin's heart. The grassland coalition forces never attacked the city, which means that the barbed wire mesh set up by Luo Xin has not been used. If within ten years of seven days, the grassland soldiers will attack the city and start climbing the barbed wire mesh, Luo Xin really has no confidence to finally defend the capital.
but……
At this time, Luo Xin, who was standing on the top of the city, had a worry in his eyes. He saw the intensity of the attack and defense today, and the situation where the grassland soldiers almost attacked the city several times, and knew in his heart that maybe tomorrow would be when the grassland coalition forces attacked the city.
"Sir, this barbed wire..."
Admiral Li also realized that tomorrow's war would probably be even more tragic. During these seven days, all the generals came to the city. They all saw with their own eyes that the grassland coalition was approaching the city more and more times day by day. According to this momentum, tomorrow might be when the grassland coalition attacked the city, so the soldiers also placed their hopes on the barbed wire mesh that Luo Xin could come out.
"The barbed wire can stop the grassland Tartars!" Luo Xin whispered: "It's just that the grassland Tartars attacked the city heads too early. We... have to persevere until the cold winter, and there are still dozens of days..."
The generals were silent, and everyone understood what Luo Xin said in their hearts. Even if the barbed wire mesh had a huge effect, it would be broken in the end.
For a moment, a tense atmosphere enveloped the city.
Grassland coalition camp.
The Central Army’s tent.
The atmosphere in the tent was also tense. Huang Taiji shouted in a voice: "It took us seven days, and we didn't even touch the city of the capital, but nearly 10,000 people died. If we continue to fight according to this trend, we don't have to return to the grassland, we will all die under this damn Beijing city."
There was silence in the big tent. Huang Taiji took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice:
"The most important thing is that we don't have much food and grass. We originally only had enough food and grass for ten days, but we went out to rob them all the time, but we only robbed them for five days, which means that our food and grass are only enough for eight days.
Eight days!
We must conquer the capital within eight days.”
Above the city.
Luo Xin looked at the grassland camp opposite and said to himself: "We must come up with a solution."
At this time, the sky was gradually getting darker. Luo Xin stood there motionlessly, and the generals behind him dared not move. They all looked at Luo Xin's back with anticipation, and they all looked forward to Luo Xin, the long-savage military god, who could come up with a solution to the problem.
Stars appeared in the sky, blinking...
Luo Xin's heart suddenly moved and turned around and shouted, "Let Jiang Song come to see me."
After a while, the military weapon supervisor Jiang Song hurried to the top of the city.
"Meet the Lord!"
"Mr. Jiang, you can make some Kongming lanterns immediately, and then control the length of the candles in the Kongming lantern, and control the distance that the Kongming lantern floats out to be able to land in the grassland camp. How much time will it take to calculate?"
"One hour."
“Go and do it now!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Everyone, I'll leave it to you here."
"Sir, where are you going?" Admiral Zhang asked softly.
"Imperial College."
At the gate of the Imperial College, Luo Xin slammed off his horse, strode to the gate, held the door knocker and started knocking.
There was a sound of footsteps inside, and the gate opened and the gatekeeper appeared at the door. As the Imperial College, the gatekeeper, naturally, knew Luo Xin, the new top scholar, who came to the Imperial College to erect a monument. When he saw that it was Luo Xin, he immediately bowed:
"The villain has met Lord Luo."
"Who is on duty today?"
"It's Lord Wu."
"Take me to see him."
"yes!"
In the duty room of the Imperial College, Wu Qiugui looked surprised when he saw Luo Xin.
"Mr. Luo..."
"Mr. Wu!" Luo Xin said straight to the point: "I'm here today, I'm asking for something."
Wu Qiugui's expression was stunned. Now Luo Xin is serving as the Privy Council and is studying military affairs. When he comes to the Imperial College at this time, it must be related to military affairs.
but……
The Imperial College is full of scholars, what can I do?
The scholar of the Imperial College was the future of the Ming Dynasty, and nothing could happen, so he cautiously bowed:
"Mr. Luo, please tell me. If the lower officials cannot make the decision, they will ask the high priest for advice."
Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "No need to waste time. I just came to ask the scholars from the Imperial College to help me copy some leaflets."
"Just copy something?"
"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "However, all pens, ink, paper and inkstones must be provided by the Imperial College."
"No problem!"
Wu Qiugui felt relieved and also became excited. A few days ago, Luo Xin cursed Xu Jie at the city gate, and even all the civil servants were not good-looking. Now Luo Xin asked to come to the door. If I can make some contribution to defending the city, it can also block the mouths of the people in the capital. These days, the saying "No one is a scholar" has begun to spread in the capital, which makes them, such civil servants feel very uncomfortable.
"How many students are there in the Imperial College today?" Luo Xin asked.
Wu Qiugui smiled and said, "Don't worry, after the war begins, the Imperial College ordered all students to live in the Imperial College. At this time, there were nearly 3,000 students in the Imperial College."
"Okay!" Luo Xin nodded happily and said, "You go and call them up and let them wait in every school. The official will start writing. Then let them start copying. I just need them to copy this night, and I will arrange for the woodblock printing of the Ministry of Works tomorrow."
Wu Qiugui left in a hurry, and the Imperial College quickly became noisy. When these scholars heard that Luo Xin asked them for help, and were helping guard the city, they all became excited. They carried the bookcases into the schools one by one, and sat there anxiously waiting.
Half an hour later, Luo Xin's figure appeared at the door. The scholars immediately stood up and bowed:
"Meet the Lord Rodda!"
Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "The war is urgent, so don't be rude."
While speaking, he handed a piece of paper to a scholar in front of him and said, "Come and read it out and let others copy it."
"Yes, Lord Luo!" The scholar took the paper with both hands excitedly. This was Luo Xin's personal writing!
